Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried green lentils
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and cook the lentils according to package instructions or until they are tender. Drain and let them cool completely.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine almond flour, cooked lentils, egg, parsley, cilantro, garlic, half an onion, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pulse until the mixture has a coarse paste consistency, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Do not over-process; the mixture should still have some texture.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into about 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties or balls.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the falafel patties in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook each falafel patty for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the falafel from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the falafel warm with a side salad or inside lettuce wraps for a complete keto meal.
